[Hallicrafters] Insert/Extract Tool use - off subject.

[ss409ss at aol.com]

 Try a shot of WD 40 since the pins may have bonded to the plastic. The pins usually have a small tab which sticks out like a kick stand or tang which prevents it from coming out of the business end when inserted. You may have to push the pin the opposite way so the pin releases the "kick stand" or tang portion so the tool can depress it otherwise the tang will not budge and the tool can't press the tang it since it's caught on the connector plastic it is designed to resist. It's like a barb which pops up after insertion, the tool depresses the barb at it's base so it can come out. If the barb is in any way touching the connector, the tool can't release it so you have to push the pin in the direction of insertion so the tang has no tension on it and the tool will depress it... I hope this makes sense.. Richy N2ZD

Off subject but maybe someone can help.  I'm trying to remove pins from a King 
aircraft GPS connector.  I have the Insert/Extract tool recommended.  The Tool 
has a white section and a red section (it pulls apart) with slightly different 
ends.  Both ends slip over the pin in the connector but the pin does not want to 
come out when I extract the Tool.  Do I push the extractor Tool in and then push 
with a wire at the other end or what?  Is the White end for extraction and the 
Red end for insertion (or vice-aversa)?  Thanks in advance for help.
